Ok ok I get a gallon of real maple syrup I put in about a cup of fresh honey I get from a guy that puts his bee hives at my place and add a little cinnamon. warm it all up so it becomes liquidy and mix all the stuff real good. Bottle it and enjoy.
This is my peace offering to the great Vermont guard invasion force.
Ever work with any Pollacks? I have heard they are crazy.
I wasn't able to get in on training in Poland but served with 1 memorable Poll...His last name was Prezniak. A ****ing mountain of a man...seriously his ****ing hands were enormous. We went to draw winter gear once and the supply clerk takes 1 look at his paws and goes to the back and brings out 2 huge oven mitts...He goes to put them on and he says they're too tight...
Another time he steps in to bust up a dust up between a couple of fellows in the barracks...comes up behind them and wraps his hands around each guys neck and picks them both of the ground and casually walks the outside...2 180 pound dudes like they weren't even there. When they came back in they were friends again.
I've had positive experiences with Poles, whether first or 2nd generation American. One of the guards for my DoJ office was a pole who emigrated during the height of the solidarity movement in the 80s and was a beast even though he was 50. Drank with GROM guys as they were doing mountain medical training and yep confirmed badass. There is a reason during the Iraq occupation the poles got a sector in addition to the UK and American sectors.
They are the allies we need to keep not many other NATO members. Thick and thin they there. Polish history also mad interesting and explains why they are the way they are.
I agree on the Polish. I grew up in Northern Illinois and it is only good hearted poking of fun that I administer. Because of the ROEs over in Afghaniland, my nephew and his pals couldn't do something as simple as opening fire on a guy they just watched drop an RPG on the ground. So, they had radios. They would call their friends the Pols and like magic - kaboom. Pretty ****ed for us - yes we need more friends like them in the world.
